Revenues Tell The Story For SAMG Entertainment Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:419530) As Its Stock Soars 26%

SAMG Entertainment Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:419530) shareholders would be excited to see that the share price has had a great month, posting a 26% gain and recovering from prior weakness. Unfortunately, the gains of the last month did little to right the losses of the last year with the stock still down 15% over that time.

Even after such a large jump in price, there still wouldn't be many who think SAMG Entertainment's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 1.1x is worth a mention when the median P/S in Korea's Entertainment industry is similar at about 1.4x. While this might not raise any eyebrows, if the P/S ratio is not justified investors could be missing out on a potential opportunity or ignoring looming disappointment.
